- Friday’s matchup at Ball Arena opens group play for the NBA Cup and comes at altitude, a setting that has factored into the team’s cautious approach to recovery.
- Jimmy Butler is listed as questionable with a lower back strain and Draymond Green is probable with a rib contusion after both missed Wednesday’s loss in Sacramento.
